As a millennial, I understand what it’s like to grow up with parents who immigrated to Canada with very little money, striving to achieve the “Canadian Dream” Ideal through hard work and commitment. Baby Boomers got married, bought a house, a car, and likely had at least two children by the age of 30.

Things changed, and this ideal is no longer realistic for our generation. We witnessed our parents face the challenges of multiple recessions and subsequently delay their retirements due to eroded savings and persistent inflation. A global pandemic and (several!) mandated lockdowns in Ontario ripped through whatever emergency savings we had set aside, just as our careers should've been taking off.

 

It's made us keenly aware of the necessity to save as much as possible, as soon as possible.

​​

But even with this imperative in mind, it's no easy feat to get ahead and keep up with the measures of success we pit ourselves against.

Millennials (and others alike) are struggling to afford the costs of living in a city like Toronto. The “Canadian Dream” is a dead fantasy to us. We likely won’t own a home, buy a car, or get married—never mind start a family—until we’re already well into our 30’s. We’d like to feel in control of our future despite these setbacks, but financial literacy was never part of the curriculum when we grew up.

This is why I chose a career as a Certified Financial Planner®.
